Euro ripoff: While walking on the sidewalk and thinking how electricity bills are getting higher I saw this graffiti on the railway bridge across the Celovška road. It says 'nateg' with the Euro symbol used instead of the letter 'e', suggesting the introduction of the common European currency in Slovenia has been a ripoff. Has the introduction of Euro in Slovenia really been a ripoff for Slovenians? I don't think so, I think that the problem of the rising costs in our lives lies in fiercer competiton on the market - our country can't do much to protect us. So the introduction of Euro itself is not a ripoff, the real ripoff is the system that uses such changes to its advantage at the cost of people whose wallets get thinner. I think that even if we had still used our good old 'tolars', the prices would be just as high and our wallets just as thin.
